It may not be the answer you were looking for but its the one I am giving based on either experience, educated guess, google or the fact that you gave nothing to go with in the first place so I used my wonky crystal ball.

Your changing the colours to something that is non standard on the site (or any site) can make things look terrible.

And there you have it !Your changing the colours to something that is non standard on the site (or any site) can make things look terrible.

There is no standard for the background color of a web browser window. If someone wants his/her page to use a certain background color one can (should!) define that in the body tag of that page (or CSS or ...).

Yes people can change things (often for vision impairments) by injecting into the style sheets and such.

Point being "you" changed the colours then said they were horrible LOL

I have a hell of a time with white on white myself but if I am sad I do blue on blue.

Well, yes, if I change the color to some horrible color it looks awful. Point being (as said before): If a programmer wants a page to have a certain background color it is the programmers job to take care of that.

Isn't the logical conclusion from that that the Programmer should impose a white background - thereby frustrating the choice of the 100th user?

In case of the privacy policy the only right decision is to explicitly set the background color to white. Well, the privacy policy could be plain text but that would mean that the „programmer" has to know some kind of „ASCII-Art".

BTW: What does „catch-22" mean? Is that an idiom like „right as rain"?
